Yeah, supposedly it is stealth, but looking at that perfectly round exhaust..... Round being a major, major impediment to stealth.

Have a look at the F-22, the exhaust is all angels. The F-35 is a bit less stealthy, and it's exhaust is also all angles. The B2 hides it's exhaust on the top of the aircraft...and is still all angles.

Yeah, same with the Su-57 where half of the engine doesn't even have a housing.
